Welcome!!!!

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Martin L. King, Jr. Elementary School!

A new school year brings new opportunities for learning, growth, and success, and I am excited to partner with you and your child on this journey. As the school counselor, I provide a comprehensive counseling program that supports all students in the areas of academic achievement, social-emotional development, and career awareness.

Working together with teachers, families, administrators, and community partners, I strive to ensure that every student has the support and resources needed to reach their full potential. It is truly a privilege to be a part of the MLK family, and I look forward to another amazing year of learning, leadership, and growth.

To help me better meet the needs of our students and families, please take a few moments to complete the Parent Needs Assessment located in the "Resources for Parents" section of this webpage. The information you provide will help guide counseling services and programs throughout the school year.

Thank you for your partnership and support. Together, we can make the 2026–2027 school year a successful and rewarding experience for every student!

Sincerely,

E. Byrd, M.Ed., NBCT
Professional School Counselor
